Cult of Arkvoodle

The Cult of Arkvoodle was a new religious movement which originated in San Francisco, United States in 1969 as a part of the counterculture movement. The cult grew out of a growing interest in outer space and extraterrestrial life, with the members of the faith worshipping Arkvoodle, the "Lord of the Sacred Crotch" and a representation of virility and immortality. They also worshipped his species, the Furon, who they claimed were a warlike alien empire which was one of the most powerful empires in the galaxy. The cult spread from Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to Soho in London, England, and it later developed in Tokyo, Japan as well. The cult's original leader, Shama Llama, was murdered that same year, and the group went downhill under its next leader, eventually dissolving.
